The campaign is considered one of the Bank’s initiatives to support the local community and a means to highlight the Bank’s role and participation in emphasizing its civil and humanitarian activities.

Mr. Jamal Fariz, Investbank Chief Banking Officer and Deputy General Manager said:" This campaign represents an important corporate social responsibility initiative towards providing life saving support; we consider this as part of our duty towards our country and people."
